Visa conditions

Family members are not able to:

  • work in Australia
  • remain in Australia beyond the expiry date of their visa
  • undertake formal study or training in Australia that leads to a primary, secondary or higher education qualification.
    Note: Subclass 459 visa holders are no longer required to pass a chest x-ray examination even if they intend to study in a classroom environment for a period greater than four weeks.
